Tammy Pilcher Arlene, I haven't had the numbness you describe, but will pray for a resolution. The only numbness I had was in my chest area, but it's mostly gone now 9 months later except for a few small spots. God bless you!

Arlene Coloma Thank you Tammy hoping that all of this will subside and cause only of medication and surgery

Tammy Pilcher You're very welcome and I hope it gets better soon, too! God bless!

Cheryl Batzing Arlene, I was on amiodarone 4-5 month after surgery in December and just came off. I didn't have numbness in my face...just in the right side and chest area where they went in. A good friend of mine is recovering from OHS and having some face numbness--they told him it was due to anesthesia? Don't know myself but will keep you in my prayers as well. I've had other odd things going on off and on since my surgery, but I just keep moving forward slowly. You do have a beautiful family!
